Here’s Eric Cantor a few minutes ago:
Madam Speaker, Republicans have come to the floor today because we care about Americans’ health care. We just don’t care for this bill. But still, the Majority seems committed to trying to muscle through a trillion dollar overhaul that will change health care for every man, woman, and child. Americans have made it very clear, they don’t like this bill. They don’t want the government in the decision making of their health care. They want to lower costs, and they don’t want their government tax dollars going to fund abortion services. So why can’t we start over, Madam Speaker? We ask again.”
There’s been a year and a half nearly of debate over this and still more questions than answers. That’s why we are hearing reports that the Majority will try and ram this through without a direct vote on the Senate bill, Madam Speaker. We should take an up-or-down vote on the Senate bill. I yield back.
